In the world of mankind, mankind is nothing but a small dust. It recognizes the greatness of nature and the smallness of self. It is the Victoria Falls in Africa. At the junction of Zambia and Zimbabwe in Africa, there is a raging river, the Zambezi River. The Zambezi River suddenly fell into a huge cliff, forming the world's largest waterfall: Victoria Falls. "This river seems to have disappeared from the earth. After only 80 feet, it disappeared into the opposite rock. Except for a cloud of white clouds, I couldnt see anything. Like thousands of small meteors, all in one direction, leaving a droplet after each meteor. If you see such a waterfall, I think, angels will stop there." In 1855, The Scottish explorer Livingston discovered the scene of this continent, and when I came to the waterfall, I felt so deeply. All the natural forces that make people tremble, they only see their sounds. When they reach the waterfall, the sound of the water rang through the sky, and the mist of the waterfall is lost in the valley. In the looming, several rainbows leaped into the eye. Everyone is wet, but it is this immersive realism that deeply feels the unparalleled shock of nature.

Zimbabwe Day 1 Victoria Falls City 1: Victoria Falls

【1】Victoria Falls (Zimbabwean side) Duration: 2h At the entrance of the Victoria Falls scenic area on the Zimbabwean side, there is a guide map (P2), which shows from left to right the Devil's Falls, Main Falls, Horseshoe Falls (and the adjacent Rainbow Falls), and the Eastern Falls. The first three sets of falls are viewed from Zimbabwe, while the Eastern Falls are viewed from Zambia. The Main Falls and the Horseshoe Falls are separated by Livingstone Island, where David Livingstone discovered the Victoria Falls. There are swimming pools on both sides of Livingstone Island, which can be accessed from the Zambian side when the upstream flow is calm. However, they are currently not open as it is not the dry season yet. Upon exiting the scenic area, we saw many African long-tailed monkeys (P3). There are a total of 17 viewing platforms in the scenic area, all close to the falls. Rainbows appeared and disappeared along the way; many sections were wet from the spray of the falls, making it easy to get drenched. Continuing upwards from the fork in the road not far ahead, we reached viewing platforms 2 (P4) and 1 (P5). From here, you can see the Devil's Falls on the left, which is the most powerful waterfall in Victoria Falls. It is said that what we see now is a quarter of the water volume during the high water season. Platform 2 is the only one in the scenic area that requires descending steps. Near platform 1, there is also a statue of Livingstone (P6). Walking further up from platform 1, you can see the upstream of the Devil's Falls (P7). After visiting these two platforms, we returned to the fork and proceeded to the right side of the map. From platform 3 (P8), you can view the Devil's Falls from another angle and see a double rainbow. The view from platform 4 is similar to that from platform 3. The mist at platform 5 was too thick, reducing visibility. Platforms 6 and 7 (P9) offer similar views, allowing you to see the Main Falls from the left. Platforms 8 (P1), 9 (P10), and 10 (P11) face the Main Falls directly and also offer views of Livingstone Island to the right of the Main Falls. The mist at platform 11 was also thick, leading to low visibility. Platform 12 (P12) faces Livingstone Island almost directly. Platform 13 is a better viewing spot, with relatively less mist, allowing views of the Horseshoe Falls opposite (P13) and a larger arc of the rainbow (P14). Platforms 14-17 are not clearly marked. Continuing from platform 13, you can reach a group of rocks marked as a 'dangerous point'. This is the furthest right you can walk, from where you can see the Rainbow Falls, the Eastern Falls on the Zambian side, the viewing platforms in Zambia, and the gorge where the waters converge (P15). Moving further down the map, you can get a clearer view of the confluence of the rivers and the bottom of the falls (P16). Continuing downwards, you can see the Victoria Falls Bridge, which serves as the border between the two countries (P17), and a bungee jumping spot. Many sightseeing helicopters can be seen in the sky above. Returning along the same path, after passing platform 13, you can take a forest path (P18) downhill back to the entrance of the scenic area.

Half-day tour in Zambia, Africa, visiting Victoria Falls, vendors selling gold nuggets on the street

Flashing Zambia, unlocking another African country. At the border junction of Botswana and Zambia, spent 1000 Zambian Kwacha (about 375 RMB), took a taxi across the country to Livingstone Airport in Zambia to send people. Took a car to tour the city of Livingstone, took photos and checked in Victoria Falls, located at the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe. The taxi driver took us directly into the waterfall scenic area, and each gave him 10 US dollars (71 RMB). British missionary and explorer David Livingstone, discovered this large waterfall for the first time as a white man during his journey in 1855, and named it after the name of the British queen. Victoria Falls was listed in the 'World Heritage List' in 1989. The city of Zambia where the waterfall is located is also named after this explorer, Livingstone. There are many vendors selling tourist souvenirs to tourists. There are even gold nuggets, one for 500 Zambian Kwacha (about 187 RMB), three for 1200 Zambian Kwacha (about 450 RMB), and the price can be negotiated. The price is really cheap, but there is a high probability that it is fake, used to scam tourists. You can also spend 150 US dollars (1071 RMB), take a helicopter to enjoy Victoria Falls in the air, but only for 15 minutes, the price is still relatively expensive, you can try if you have the opportunity.

#historicallandmarks 😳 very beautiful and scary it's a devil's pool (Victoria falls Livingstone Zambia )

Travel checklist, experience the awe-inspiring thunder and mist.

🌈Victoria Falls, which means "the smoke that thunders" (Mosi-oa-Tunya) in the local Tonga language, is a white ribbon of water falling 108 meters from the Zambezi River, with a sound like thunder and mist like rain. The waterfall is located on the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia, surrounded by strange mountains and waters: the basalt canyon twists and turns, with wild date palms and ivory palms growing on both sides of the riverbank, mahogany trees growing in clusters, and vines covering the small islands, like Medusa's hair. 🌟Travelers come straight to the waterfall, but besides that, you can also observe wild giants such as African elephants, baboons, rhinos, and hippos. You can also seek excitement by trying helicopter rides, bungee jumping, and rafting in the rapids below the waterfall. Brave (or reckless) people like to jump into the "Devil's Swimming Pool", where there is a natural rock wall at the bottom of the pool that can serve as an underwater barrier separating swimmers from the abyss. 🔥The Victoria Falls Bridge, which has a history of over 100 years, spans the second gorge of the waterfall, connecting Zambia and Zimbabwe, and is incredibly spectacular. Today, tourists can admire the waterfall from above or below the bridge. SEE IT! You can approach the waterfall from both sides. Livingstone in Zambia is a popular base camp, and there are also beautiful views on the Zimbabwean side.
